The first flight of Russia's super heavy-lift carrier rocket with modernized RD-171MV engines is planned in 2028, the Energomash Corporation said on Wednesday.

The new rocket is based on the suspended Soviet-era Energia-Buran project. 

"The launch of the super heavy-class launch vehicle equipped with modernized RD-171MV engines is planned in 2028," according to the engine manufacturer's presentation at the MAKS 2017 Air Show.

The RD-170 rocket engine, developed for the Energia project, has been upgraded and is used in Russian-Ukrainian Zenit carrier rockets as the RD-171, and in US Atlas 5 launch systems as the RD-180.
